Taking to Twitter to lament
about the Lekki Flood, a Nigerian photographer whose Honda Crosstour car broke
in the Lekki Flood that hit island communities in Lagos during the
weekend, shared photo of the N953,000 bill he got from his mechanic.

Twitter user @I_Maf, said he
received a bill of N953,000 from his mechanic to fix his Honda Accord Cross
Tour car that got ruined in the flood that swept through Lekki over the
weekend. Many cars in Lekki, Victoria Island and Lagos Island broke down in the
flood water.

I guess I know what the comment that was removed was about. I hope the removal of that comment indicates that NigerianEye is waking up to its responsibility of reviewing posts in its forum and removing those that are irrelevant or uncouth in language. We really need some sanity in these online fora. All those tribal e-warlords who insult other tribes should be banned. Also, those that post adverts for cassava and other commercial products should be banned.

I would wholeheartedly support censorship of online media. We have shown ourselves to be incapable of decency. Recently, Kenyan parliament signed enacted a law prescribing a 5-year jail term for anyone who insults the government. Yes, you can criticise the government, but when you start to call your President and your country very derogatory names, you deserve a jail term!
